I have tried playing in all the various window modes as this was a recommended fix by devs on another thread, this doesn't change my stability in any way, personally.

It's completely worth mentioning that I play on PC AND PS4, i bought my PC specifically for games like this to enjoy them with a smoother system and higher resolution. This error dx11 has only affected my PC, I am able to play uninterrupted if I play on PS4 but do experience a slight lag behind PC users, so it's not the perfect solution. I will likely have to just cope with the lag until a fix happens on PC as I main a healer, and nothing says "boot me from the party" quite like DCing mid boss as the only healer in a dungeon...
I just hope this is addressed and fixed soon as switching to a different platform is an outrageous expectation for those of you who don't have the ability to do so.

You misunderstood.. Game mode is a Windows feature. Search it in the Windows task bar and disable it. It's known to cause a lot of crashes for people

It's a Windows 10 feature.. Click start and type game mode. Disable it if it's enabled and try.

In bios if you have xmp memory overclock or docp overclock disable it.

As stated before, this issue keeps happening even after every suggestion made both in this thread and other options I've found online. The only thing that seems to partially postpone the issue (ie. crashes still happen but not as frequent) is playing in Standard (Desktop) instead of Maximum for which my PC is specced for. Since I have a few weeks off next week I'mma start from Standard (Desktop) and gradually turn each option up and see if I can find whichever is the one that causes the increase in frequency of crashes....

but it really shouldn't be something that I should be devoting that much time and effort in when we have Tech Support for a pay to play game. Really dissapointed and dissatisfied on that front.

I hate to disappoint you, but I have done the very same thing as you are pondering over attempting a while ago and I can say that at least for me, this did not change anything regarding crashes.
I happened to find the solution for a strange graphics error I had however that turned out to be unrelated, I had a terribly blurry screen in the North Shroud and parts of other Shroud areas, which was due to the grass quality acting up or something, the grass blades just glitched out and turned the whole area into a camouflage greenscreen pattern, it was horrible! I had to turn that off completely.

Anyway, every option I tried to increase or decrease yielded only changes towards the graphic quality itself, the frequency of crashes was not affected in any way I could notice, which, I too will admit, I find to be very much odd since as you yourself have stated and I can confirm, switching from High or Maximum to Standard (Desktop) definitely increases the time before the next crash.
If you come to a different outcome however, please let us know! Maybe I forgot something.

Posting here because I also have the same issue, and everything I've tried on multiple forums don't seem to work.

Things I've tried:

1. Clean update of graphics card drivers (Uninstall with DDU before re-installing)
2. Updating chipset drivers to latest
3. Unlocking my frame rates
4. Setting graphical settings to highest/lowest
5. Turning off various overlays (GeForce Experience, Discord)
6. Disabling Microsoft Game Mode
7. Disabling DOCP/XMP via BIOS

The only thing that seems to work for me (once) was reinstalling the game. FFXIV won't crash during that first launch after reinstalling. It's really disheartening to find that your subscription has gone to waste because you can't play.

We really should contact Yoshi-P about the problem. Maybe he'll listen.

I keep crashing too :(

I tried to teleport to Bloodshore, and the game crashed. Knowing we all are having this issue is bad, but it locked my character into the bloodshore area with the crash and I can no longer even LOG IN.....

I seem to be having this issue as well. I thought it started due to having Outriders directx12 and their 11. but this thread is older than that. It crashes for me just after i spawn in from character selection. Well if it's not sorted soon I'll go with plan B- you can't be Bothered to fix it i can't be Bothered to give you money. :p
